The Good Morning Thread

[berkeleybob]

Holiday! 

Just finishing up on coffee, off to pack up, pack the car and be on our way. Might be littering this place with pics for the week. 

Have a good one!

Got a bunch of work done and now at the course for a round.

It's cold! But going to power through as not sure how often I'll get to play. 

I completely forgot Mondays they do range work so I came a half hour early to warm up and it's closed and I am the first tee time. Haven't swung a club in a week should be fun!

Thankfully the coffee was good, had a fun morning with Ivan and no rain so should be a fun day

Good morning! It's an early start for me today as we are making changes to the line I work on and management decided I should wake up at 2:15. I guess that's my fault, I'm extremely particular about my morning routine. I want time to relax at work before starting and believe if you're not early, you're late. 

It should be an interesting day. 

I hope everyone had a great weekend and that this upcoming week is a good one.

Not so good unexpectedly early morning MGS’ers. Was up late prepping for my painting project today and about 30 minutes ago was woken by our oldest crying who had thrown up in bed. Him and his brother were supposed to be going to my parents for the day and night so that they could be out of the house during the painting but now looks like just his brother will be going as we try and hope to avoid him getting sick too. My wife is going to try to stay home from work so he has someone here with him since I’ll be doing the painting. Tough start to his spring break, here’s to hoping it’ll only last a day or two. Going to try to catch another couple hours of sleep (since to this point I’ve gotten virtually none) and then caffeine my way through the day. As most of you know I am not a coffee drinker, but I’ll be making an exception today.

I hope he gets to feeling better soon. That sounds like a bad way to start your morning and his spring break.

Thanks, Jason. Definitely not the way we wanted to start the week off but last year it happened on his birthday which was even worse. Hopefully this means we are getting it out of the way since that is coming at the end of the month.

GM, up at 5:30 and have a 7:35 Tee Time.  Have a Doc appointment later today see how that goes.

Good morning from a slowly warming springtime WNY, courses are opening so  opportunity to get out there is going to be tempered by weather.  Hot mug of coffee keeping me company this morning with another two in the thermos.  Wife and daughter have the next couple weeks off for spring break so house is not going to be so quiet for teleworking, will have a break tomorrow from them with my first day back in the office since the Christmas holiday waterpipe burst at the federal building so longer and earlier commute tomorrow, but that is for when tomorrow gets here. 

Hope golf is a part of your day

Good morning everyone! Sun is shining on this cold morning. I have the fire going and hoping it may be one of the last of the year with any luck and some warmth! Coffee, eggs and toast on the ticket, and then off to work at noon. Monday is my worst day on this schedule but oh well, looking forward to my weekend starting tomorrow! Enjoy the day everyone!

Motlëy Crüe, it's Masters week!

Time to grind until Wednesday, because you all know that the stream will be all over my computer Thursday and Friday. Let's go!

Good Monday morning everyone. Rolling into another week after a pretty low key weekend. Wife and I got away for a little time together but it was bit of a rough go of it. The store we went to was missing the item we were really looking for, and then tried to grab lunch and the restaurant said that they had a gluten-free (my wife has celiac) burger option, but turns out they didn't which was not caught until after we ordered and ate an app. Needless to say it was a let down, but still nice to have some time together. Hope everyone has a great start to the week.

Good Monday morning!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I'm sure the doc will say that you are alive and kicking.

Happy Monday morning  - well maybe not for those that have to go to work. I'm home the early part of the week since my Wife is playing in a member-member tournament Monday and Tuesday so I'm dog sitting. . Just got back from a long walk with her - wanted to get it in before it got too hot and humid. Forecast this week is mid to high 80's and humid with little to no chance of rain. Headed to a friend's house on Wednesday to help with some plumbing issues. But golf on Friday with our men's group. I should be able to get a few practice sessions in before that game. So far my irons have started to work better - but my 3 wood . Wish I could get all of my clubs working the way they're supposed to at the same time! 

[Kenny B]

GM, just another manic Monday!  Still dark at 0600 and rain/snow forecasted all morning.  No golf today.  This afternoon might be a good time to fertilize the lawn.

Good morning, Spies, It's a beautiful sunny morning in Central NY. It was nice to wake up to seeing Snell Golf is back. I was fan of their balls but couldn't get them. I'm looking forward to giving their Prime line up a try. Like most of us in the North, I'm looking forward to getting the email from my home course that they are open for the season. But until that happens, I will be hitting the Golf Dome at Turning Stone tomorrow afternoon. I have not played any of their courses yet, but the Veteran Golfers Association has a tournament scheduled for July one is at the Shenendoah Course and one is at the Kaluhyat Course. Any advice on which course would be better suited for a high handicapper would be greatly appreciated. Hope you all can get out this week.

SIX!  Today is our middle child's sixth Birthday!  He was very excited this morning.  He wants a Cheese Burger, no cheese for dinner tonight and we got a few Legos for him that he's going to love.

Wrinkle in the plan is that Jackson now has baseball practice from 5:30-7..... but that's seems to be life lately!

Anyway, good morning all!  Now, where the heck did I leave my coffee? 

[JFish350]

Good Monday Morning folks. 
 

here’s a picture as of 6:05 am here in the Portland area. 
 

baseball season is here and the start of my 22 game 27 days. Yeeee hawww let’s go.

Good morning from sunny, chilly, Sooke B.C. Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter and Happy Masters Week...

[Placasse61]

Good Morning Spies,

Beautiful but still a bit chilly in MA. Sun is out, and enjoyed my coffee and book in the almost finished basement project. Then played the infamous duck and bunny TIC TAC TOE with my granddaughter while "Her Grammie" stepped out. I am nonexistent when GRAMMIE is here!!!!

G'morning MGS. Got the notification my "SPY" putter cover is on its way. Can't wait to show my spyness on the course.

The coffee is good. I'm normally a coffee snob, but I picked up Folgers classic roast at a convenience store (it was that or chock full o') and I'm actually liking it. The commercials weren't lying, definitely the best part of waking up.

Enjoying my morning working from home. Quarterly reports and market forecast are complete and submitted to HQ. Dreading my 5 1/2-hour trip tomorrow to HQ for quarterly sales meetings. I don't mind the meetings and presenting but hate the drive. It's that time duration where it does not make sense to fly. I'll miss the Thursday round of the Masters for sure. Next Monday off to Kansas City for the week. (What this all really means is I will be eating really good for the next two weeks)

Good Morning! 68 degrees, overcast & muggy in Central Florida. It was a good morning at the range! Nice sweat too! LOL
Have a Great Day!
